Ali Ndume, (APC-Borno) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to<br \/>\nestablish a Budget Implementation and Impact Assessment office so that<br \/>\nhe could monitor the releases of funds and performance of his cabinet<br \/>\nmembers.<\/p>\n<p>Ndume, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Nigerian Army, made the call<br \/>\nwhile fielding questions from journalists on Monday, in Maiduguri.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuhari is a good leader but quite a number of his cabinet members are<br \/>\nnot doing enough to reposition the country as enshrined in the<br \/>\nPresident\u2019s Agenda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d I am impressed with the 2020 national budget performance which stood<br \/>\nat about 90 per cent implementation, this feat has never been achieved<br \/>\nin the history of Nigeria or by any government in power,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ndume said it was unfortunate that the impact of the implemented budget<br \/>\nhad not been felt in most places, due to poor representation by top<br \/>\npolitical appointees at the federal level.<\/p>\n<p>The senator, therefore, urged the President to reconstitute the Federal<br \/>\nExecutive Council so as to have an all-inclusive governance at the<br \/>\ngrassroots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerian youths constitute over 60 per cent of the population who are<br \/>\nunemployed and frustrated and that is what led to the EndSARS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the President directed the ministers to visit their states to<br \/>\nspeak to their youths during the EndSARS, some of them could not go<br \/>\nbecause they are not connected with their people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President, in his speech, publicly admitted that they have hurt the<br \/>\nyouths and that they were right and government is willing to address all<br \/>\ntheir five demands,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, he expressed the hope that the President would implement the<br \/>\npromises and policies made to the youths so that the country would move<br \/>\nforward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t be providing and yet the impact is not felt. The problem with<br \/>\nthe Buhari administration is that the handlers, who are supposed to<br \/>\nimplement the laudable projects, are either compromising or not doing it<br \/>\nappropriately.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that 2021 will be a turning point in the history of Nigeria,<br \/>\nbecause the problem of leadership normally is either denial, ignore the<br \/>\nproblem or don\u2019t identify the problem\u2019\u2019 he said.
